Hi Kathy-I'm Kim. I am in Stoney Creek. I would love to get involved with an exchange. I've never organized one either but I will try to contact the people that have done so in the States-maybe I'll be able to find out how they did it and then we could get something going here. Check out my wish list and listing-see if there is something I can help you with or maybe we could do our own swap. Let me know-keep in touch.Maybe others will get involved too-that would be nice. Take care and happy gardening, Kim

If you are interested in participating in this hosta secret swap you must sign up by Friday, August 29/08. You must email me with your info by midnight of that day to be eligable. You will be receiving the name of the person you will be sending to by Monday, September 1/08. This should give you plenty of time to dig, divide or shop. Most hostas should be done flowering by that time. **Note-If it's too hot we will back the date up by a week. I'll keep everyone posted on this at the time. As a reminder; it's helpful if you have your exchange page updated so that your sender knows what you have and what you'd like to receive. Okay, here we go.. 1. The hosta secret swap is for at least ONE NAMED HOSTA. You can send more than one if you'd like but it/they must be at healthy, disease free, named variety of hosta with at least one eye with good rooting.*Please only send a hosta that you'd be happy to receive. 2. Packaged must be mailed out by September 8/08. If there are any problems that arise about your package getting to your receiver on time please email me so that I can contact your secret sender. 3. All secret trades are to be mailed by Canada Post,Fedex or UPS with a delivery confirmation number. Once your package has been mailed please email me with your package number or tracking number. This will be used to tack the package if there is a problem with the delivery. 4.**Very important** You must officially sign up to be part of this. Please email me with "Garden Web Secret Swap" in the subject line with this information: Your first and last name. Your mailing address. Your user name on Garden Web. I will email you with confirmation that you are in as a participant of this secret swap. On a final note; this should be a lot of fun and can avoid disappointment by making sure that all involved that signed up are committed to follow through and mail their packages on time. Now, let's swap! Kim (hostalover-2008)

Hello all! I'm so sorry, I kinda dropped off the face of the earth last year. The stresses of life took over and knocked me out of the loop for a while. ZZtopsoil, thanks for the email about your swap, sorry I couldn't participate and didn't respond in a more timely manner. As you know, that's not usual for me. However, I'm back and ready to go! Got Spring Fever and dying to join in on swaps this year! Hope everyone is well. :-)

I got my Hostas today - thank you Annzn5!!!!! Ann was gracious enough to send me three beautiful Hostas that I really wanted; Earth Angel, Sagae, Blue Umbrella's. Ann also sent three tall metal tags for me to use because she somehow had a preminition that I don't mark plants very well! Thank you Ann. My package is going out west today (west of NH is pretty relative)!
